A souvenir shirt I bought and the ticket that made it all possible. The CD was already mine and my son suggested that I tuck the ticket stub inside for safekeeping. :)

I can't even begin to describe you how awesome this concert was. Sara Evans opened and she was just terrific - beautiful and bubbly and sang her heart out. My favorite, of course, was Suds in the Bucket and that brought the house down! One man held up a poster board with a clothesline and clothes pinned to it! LOL!
Next of course came ALAN!!!! He started out with *Gone Country* and when the line "Look at them boots" came on, the big screens panned down to his feet to show his boots! LOL!

He sang non-stop for about 90 minutes and was just such a gentleman. Some of the songs he sang were:
Gone Country
That'd be alright
Talkin' song repair blues
Where were you when the world stopped turning?
Summertime Blues
Remember when
Where I come from
Mercury blues
Chattahoochie
Livin' on Love
Itty Bitty
I don't even know your name
Monday morning church
Pop a Top again
5 o'clock somewhere
Too much of a good thing
Rainy day in June
Don't rock the jukebox
Who's cheatin' who
Drive for Daddy Gene (when Daddy let me drive)
Here's another photo. These two are not mine. I "borrowed" them from a fan website. Hope that's legal! LOL!

When he sang *Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September Day* the two big screens up front had his video rolling and when a fireman, policeman or soldier was on the screen there was thunderous applause. So many people held up their lights and it was very moving. I think that song should be made a national anthem of some sort and played each year on 9/11 all over the country.
I wondered how he would perform 5:00 Somewhere without Jimmy Buffet. Well, not to worry, there was Jimmy Buffet on the big screens, almost as good as in person! :)
For every ticket sold at last night's concert $3.00 will be donated to hurricane relief. Alan said that the United States is always helping everyone and now it's time to help those in our own back yard. It was just wonderful looking around at the crowd and trying to imagine how much would go to help people in need.
I am sorry this post is so long. I just wanted to give you an idea of what an awesome show he puts on. He gives the fans 100%. If you ever get a chance to go to one of his concerts don't hesitate. I would go to another one in a heartbeat. :cool:
